(...) I'm with Steve . . . it's just a way to throw in a couple of characters so that kids have more guys to play with, without giving them the aforementioned name of 'generic rebel pilot'. (26 years ago, 13-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Nope, it's defintely an R2 unit - look at it's shape and the LEGO Website. R4D5 is the red robot seen in SW:ANH being sold and then it broke down - it's a different design hence the R5 number Robot 5 Droid 4 if I remember. (...) AT-PT? I've (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
